Overall Patina is stunning and the wood looks fantastic.l The front handguard does have cracks that can be repaired by an experienced woodworker. The stock is from a different rifle. It works perfect but needs to be replaced with the right one if you want a correct shotgun. There are reproductions available.

I bought this shotgun to restore but I don't have the time.

Overall function is perfect but I have never fired it. Initial plan was to take it to my gunsmith friend to safety check but I have not done so yet.

At $300, I think its a great shotgun for the price with some cool history. Bonny and Clyde carried a cut down model 11 if I recall correctly.
